^ I could be wrong, but I think that metal slipcase is not unique to Best Buy.

Nope, it is indeed an exclusive to BB.

And it's overall annoying that they yet AGAIN changed the configuration of the Smallville season packaging. First they were big, thick cardboard boxes, then shorter, thinner cardboard boxes, now cardboard slipcovers over a multi-disc keepcase. It just looks sloppy lined up on a shelf.

Anyway, that's my DVD rant for the day, haven't spotted any other exclusives this week...

:Heroes Season Three Question:
What three epsoides of the BBC series "Heroes Unmasked" come with the DVD? At Target And what is the Booklet with the 'Best Buy" set?
Conflicted on which to get.. Target did the "Booklet" for Season 2, so is the "Booklet" for Best Buy just the same book repackaged?

Keeping this theme alive... can anybody confirm that the "Heroes" Target bonus disc is indeed included? I just returned from Target and did not see anything unique about the packaging to indicate that there was a bonus disc inside. No unique labeling, no different packaging, seemingly no altered/stickered bar code. Is it possible that my Target got in the regular retail version? If anybody has opened their Target-purchased set and can verify, please chime in!

Please be careful as the Target store that I visited had both the regular retail version and the limited Target versions of Heroes 3.

The special version has a special Target Exclusive sticker which states it has 4 and not 3 episodes of Heroes Unmasked. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet (at work) but the bonus disk comes in a white paper sleeve inserted in the gatefold box.

BTW the Supernatural season 4 Target exclusive set comes in a slipcase over a thick plastic keepcase with flaps for all 7 discs (the 7th disc being the bonus disc)

Contrary to what the adverts say, it actually contains FOUR episodes of Heroes Unmasked (It does say this in a sticker on the packaging).
Personally, I am unimpressed by the way this disc was presented... previous target exclusive heroes bonus discs came in packaging that housed the disc and the packaging was different than the standard version. This time around the bonus disc is in a paper disc sleeve just thrown into the box. Apparently they opted out of making special packaging this year.

Also interesting this week is the Desperate Housewives bonus disc at Best Buy. It contains 2 documentaries and "exclusive deleted scenes". The odd thing about this is that the packaging with the bonus disc has different artwork than the standard packaging... but the inside is all the same and the bonus disc is contained in a cardboard sleeve with artwork. I actually think the standard artwork is better as it shows the wives lined up on the front with their hands behind their backs... then when you pull the digipack sleeve out it shows the same picture from behind with the wives having weapons behind their backs. With the new artwork on the Best Buy exclusive cover it doesn't make as much sense. It makes you wonder why they even spent the money to bother coming up with new art if they aren't even going to do something special with it to call out the extra disc.

Thanks for the info! I went back to the store and asked about this, and the rep went to the back and found a whole other box of these that DID have the bonus disc, labeled as you describe (and with a new bar code sticker over the normal one). I picked up a new copy and will return my old one on my next visit. Again, thanks very much for the confirmation!

Don't you know by now that I always give all the info I have?

I didn't buy it or write it down or fully remember it. But I figured putting something here was better than nothing. Perhaps it will spur someone elses memory, or one of us will check next time we are at Target.

Also, I apologize if I came off as defensive in my last post.
